Opening Line – Blizzard Edition

Edith here, thankful to not be in a blizzard! Add your opening line for the following picture. As our penultimate thankfulness giveaway for the month, I’ll send one commenter a signed hardcover of Farmed and Dangerous – which features a scary blizzard scene.

Readers, add your opening line in the comments to win a copy of Farmed and Dangerous.
